49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

Also players like to come here and play under Kyle. He attracts good players. Look at Mike Evans. He took a pay cut to come play here.

Nobody here is questioning Kyle's time management at the end of the 2nd quarter.
Ball is on our 20 with 2:15 to go. They let the time clock run out to the 2 minute warning. 80 yards to score? Shouldn't they have run one play for positive yardage? If it's negative the Rams just may get the ball back with more time on the clock. Were we going for just 3 points? Ended up getting none. The killer instinct means run a play and go for the touchdown. You tell me.

They would've had the ball at the Rams 40 with 20 seconds to go and a timeout if Evans is able to catch the bad Purdy throw. Don't think it was poorly managed at all. Just didn't execute.

On the Rich Eisen show this morning, Steve Young said there are four top tier innovative coaches in the league and everyone else is trying to copy them.

Andy Reid
Shaun Payton
Sean McVay,
and Kyle Shanahan.

In a copy cat league, with parity being the goal, teams with the most innovative coaches will be the teams with the most consistently winning records.

I'm good with our guy.

4 Innovative? I just see one

Reid - product of BW and still needs Mahomes to run around to execute broken plays

Payton - adopted the WC offense by stealing all of BW tapes from the 49ers.. now he's stuck

McVay - Product of Shanahan and now is trying to create his own stupid 13 offense which removes your best players off the field

Kyle's 2-minute offense is designed to run the clock and prevent the other team from getting the ball back rather than to score.

Like it or not this is the correct answer.

Damn Colin Cowherd compared us to Game of Thrones and I gotta hand it to him. That s**t was funny and so true. Great early, really good until the end then major disappointment and your favorite characters won't make it to the end.

You're handing it to him for saying something insanely wrong and stupid?

There have been 6 teams who have won SBs since Kyle became the 49ers HC. That means 26 teams haven't. So if his "major disappointment at the end" applies to not winning the SB then why aren't the 26 other teams mentioned in the same breath?

Because if it's not simply not winning the SB then he's just flat out wrong. 49ers record late in the season is considerably better than early in the season. The fact that they're also 9-5 in the playoffs under Kyle also says his point was incredibly dumb(as is typical for his takes)

Kyle was so good, he made Mcvay and his Rams wave the white flag with more than 3 mins remaining in the game

I don't think that gets talked about enough. 3:29 left in the game, 3 timeouts and you get the ball on your 42 yard line.

B***h move which I hope hurts him in the locker room.

I'm ok with it in this game. You kind of have all the momentum after the big TD pass to Robinson and getting another stop on LA. We got the ball back to start the 2nd half.

The game plan really was dink and dunk outside of a couple of shots so long TD drive is unlikely. Kyle has done this before going into a half where we get the ball. He'll move the clock down to where we can control how much time they'd get the ball back if at all.

Sometimes it hurts us, sometimes it doesn't. Thankfully this time it didn't but I felt holding the momentum on our side was more important and the TD drive after halftime showed it was the right decision.

What's the hold up on how long the extension is for?

Especially when we get ball in 2nd half

No real surprise with his clock management he wouldn't understand that
